Anne’s Garden

God made rainy days so gardeners could get the housework done.

A chill is in the air

Yesterday I mowed the lawn in short sleeves and sat outside most of the afternoon.  Today was the first time I thought perhaps flip flops weren’t the most appropriate footwear and started to wonder about jackets, hats and mitts.

Malabar Climbing Spinach in bloom:

The cheap annuals I bought on sale are thriving.  I’m wondering if they might even survive the winter:

One sad little pumpkin not likely to make it.  I think I’ll be plotting a little pumpkin fairy visit for the kids:

My daughter positioned the stepping stones we made right next to our neighbour’s fence so that she can stand on them while chatting back and forth with her friend (note the playhouse broom, she’s out there every day sweeping off the dirt):

The pampas grass has returned with a vengeance:

and finally, the never ending rose bush at our front gate:

What a gorgeous rose! Id love something like that contstantly blooming. Sadly most of my roses have one or two bursts of blooms and that it. I like your pumpkin fairy idea. Its hard for the kids to understand why something didnt grow. Heck, its hard for me to understand sometimes! Lol!
